  And, illegal if you can make the argument that OP knew or should have known their behavior would be unwelcome.

      What jurisdiction are we talking?
      For Canada, I think there’s a good argument for 2.d.
      laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/…/section-264.html

      engaging in threatening conduct directed at the other person or any member of their family.

      Depends on jurisdiction, but in a fair number it would be “menacing”.

      A person is guilty of menacing when by some movement of body or any instrument the person intentionally places another person in fear of imminent physical injury.

      That’s Delaware’s, but different states do it differently, and some out that classification under stalking.

      Following someone around intentionally and knowingly causing them fear of injury is illegal. Why on earth would you even for a moment think you’re allowed to do that? It’s like thinking guns are legal so you can point your gun at someone on the street.

        Why on earth would you even for a moment think you’re allowed to do that?

        Because OP actually lives in that building and the rest comes down to proving his intent which is extremely difficult in every situation.

        I can’t think of a time before this I’ve seen the word ‘meanacing’ used as a verb and not an adjective.

    Going home wearing a hoodie is unwelcome?

      Don’t be obtuse. OP openly admitted to wearing clothes and behaving in a way that makes them more threatening to vulnerable women.

        Sorry, I’m stupid. I’ll try to be more acute from now on
